Big game for the bragging rights for Ohio. The Browns won the first meeting in week two of the season 35-30 in the week 2 of the season. Both teams lost last weekend in different fashion. The Bengals started off really well and faded down the stretch while the Browns were beat down early trailing the Steelers 24-0 before the Browns even scored. Would love to see the Bengals put a whole game together for 4 quarters. I think the Bengals are more than capable of winning this game. Go Bengals!!

The Browns are currently about a 3.5 favorite.

I am pumped about this game.  

The Battle of Ohio!

Go Bengals. Go Joe. 

@oldgrappler and @futurecoach what do the two of you think about this game?

With Mixon and William Jackson possibly not playing. It’s not a good sign for the Bengals. The Bengals also always seem to have to play a team, the next week after that team had just got destroyed. So that team usually comes out more focused against the Bengals lol. That has already happened once against the Browns this year, after the Ravens destroyed the Browns. 
 

With that said, the o line last week looked a little better. Burrow played great the last time against the Browns, even though he was getting killed. So hopefully the offense including AJ Green getting going some last week can put up points again. They will need it, because the Browns running game will kill them if the defense is on the field all game. 

I'm not sure Giovani Bernard is a good every down back anymore.  A younger version of Gio, maybe.  If the Browns stop the running game with minimal effort, Burrow will find himself back on the ground a lot. 

Bengals march right down the field and Burrow has a pass tipped and intercepted. That taste from the UK game just came back in my mouth.

Thank you Baker Mayfield for the return gift. The Bengals take advantage of it with a quarterback sneak by Burrow the extra point is good. The Bengals lead 7-0 with 6:47 left in the opening quarter.

Fun game so far.

Just fortunate that Burrow didn't get hurt on that blind side hit.

Baker Mayfield is a bum. 

Anti Bengals commentators again. Sigh. 

Both teams trade FG's its now 10-3 Bengals with 11:09 left in the first half.

What makes you say that? He is only 0-5 with 1 completion to Phillips of the Bengals.?

Seriously I agree 100%.

That sack on 3rd down is 100% on Zac Taylor. He cannot go empty backfield on that play. Keep a back in there to help protect Joe.
